On October 3, 1995, Mary Smith was involved in a motor vehicle accident at 13:51 on the corner of Maefair Court and Reservoir Avenue.

Aaron Patrick became Mary Smith’s physician. With the first examination, Mary Smith was complaining of chest pain as well as right ankle pain. Due to Mary Smith’s history with cardiac issues, Dr. Aaron Patrick ordered a full cardiac work up to rule out a cardiac contusion. However, Dr. Aaron Patrick did not order an ankle x-ray to view the extent of Mary Smith’s ankle injury. Also, Dr. Aaron Patrick did not order pain medications for Mary Smith, even though it was communicated from Mary Smith to Dr. Aaron Patrick that she was in pain and in need of pain medication assistance. As a result of Dr. Aaron Patrick’s slow response time in ordering x-rays and pain medications for Mary Smith, Mary Smith continued the next nine days at St. Vincent’s Medical Center without treatment to her ankle fracture as well irregular heart monitor results due to the extreme pain that she was in. Also, Mary Smith developed an infection around her right ankle area that caused her extreme pain and emotional distress. The start and spread of the infection was also the result of Dr. Aaron Patrick’s delayed response to Mary Smith’s

    Dr. J.K. McClain and other members of the cardiology department consulted on the patient. They felt that his hypoxia and breathlessness were not secondary to his cardiac status. He had supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The cardiology staff utilized intravenous medications that controlled the cardiac rate, adequately resolving these cardiac issues. I managed the patient’s ventilator and the intensive care status along with my respiratory therapy team. Unfortunately the patient developed multiple infections, hospital acquired, including klebsiella…

Mrs. Jackson doctor did not want her level normal, instead, he wanted it to do more so of preventing the blood clots that came from her circulatory system causing the Coumadin to be one and one-half to at least two times of the proposed normal reading of 11. So, for Mrs. Jackson’s prothrombin time level, it was 35. That was over what Dr. Gurevich projected. It was necessary for Mrs. Jackson to be closely monitored, unless, she would bleed to death. Due to Jackie not having the expenses to bring her grandmother to an earlier doctor’s appointment, it got worse. Mrs. Jackson had to spend a week in the hospital to manage the Coumadin poisoning which also caused the government several thousands of dollars to cover her hospital stay. In addition, Mrs. Jackson doctor, Dr. Gurevich was not informed of her lab results or received them and did not have a nurse give Mrs. Jackson a prothrombin time test. This can also show that Dr. Gurevich did not have the patient’s best interest at…

The nurses brought in to speak as expert witness both agree that the care was below standard of care and steps were skipped in assessing Mr. Ard’s care. The nurse was contributory negligent. “A person who is negligent when that person does not exercise reasonable care for his or her safety, thus contributing to any injury sufferer” (Pozgar, 2012, pg. 125). The nurse was aware of Mr. Ard’s issues in the doctor’s notes, she was also made aware through constant calling from the wife of Mr. Ard, and not responding in a timely manner. According to Pozgar, the nurse did not have to be directly aware of the issues that may happen, but aware that something might happen and to keep an eye on the patient in case it did (2012). The Judgment by the court was granted towards Mrs. Ard in wrongful death, and I agree.…
